Chicken Divan

Spring is here which means the craziness of baseball and softball season. Specifically it means that this mom is running kids around from practice to practice. All this running around means I need some quick make ahead meals that I can stick into the oven to bake while we are at practice. A lot of times that means some type of casserole but casseroles are hard to make PINK friendly. One of my favorite casseroles to make is Chicken Divan which is a chicken and broccoli casserole covered in a creamy sauce. I know not healthy, especially the sauce made of cream of mushroom soup and a ton of mayonnaise. I set out to recreate this casserole and PINKify it. As far as the results, my husband came home late and heated up some dinner and without being told what it was, knew what I was trying to recreate and said it was really good. While not as creamy and decadent as the original, it is something we will be eating again.

When the chicken is brown, remove the chicken from the pan and add in the chopped mushrooms. Saute until the mushrooms start to release their liquid then add in the chicken broth and continue to cook the mushrooms until the liquid reduces slightly.

Mix the almond milk, arrowroot powder, garlic and curry in a bowl, stir until combined.

Add in the milk/curry mixture to the mushroom mixture, cook until it thickens slightly.

When thickened, turn off the heat and add in the Greek Yogurt. Stir until the yogurt melts into the sauce. Taste sauce and season with salt and pepper if you feel it needs it.

Add your chicken and broccoli into a baking dish, pour over sauce over the broccoli/chicken and stir to combine.

Sprinkle almonds over the broccoli and bake at 375 degrees until the broccoli is tender. I baked mine for about 35 minutes, the broccoli was soft but not mushy, just how I like it but if you like softer broccoli, cook for longer.

About my Recipes

Thank you for stopping by and checking me out. Just so you know, the recipes I post have not been approved by any member of the P.I.N.K team. They are simply recipes that I have come up with and used while on the PINK method using food that I believe is PINK approved based off the food lists in the workbook. If you don't feel they fit the PINK method plan that is fine, I am just throwing them out there as an option in hopes that someone will find them helpful.
